This immersive two-day journey along the Road to Hana allows guests to experience East Maui without the rush of a single-day excursion. Traveling in a comfortable Honda Pilot SUV or Honda Odyssey minivan with a small private group, you’ll wind through the legendary route while stopping to hike to hidden waterfalls, wander through towering bamboo forests, and marvel at the striking colors of Rainbow Eucalyptus trees. The adventure includes visits to the Keanae peninsula for fresh banana bread and smoothies at Aunt Sandy’s, stops for homemade coconut ice cream, and explorations of dramatic black sand bays and a red sand beach accessible by a scenic hike.
The overnight stay in Hana opens the door to quieter mornings and unhurried discoveries that day-trippers miss. Guests can venture into a lava tube with provided headlights, visit a local cacao farm to sample Maui-grown chocolates, and swim beneath the cascading waters of Wailua Falls. The itinerary also features a secret local swimming hole where fresh water meets saltwater, stops at Laulima Farms for tropical fruits, and views of an 80-foot waterfall when seasonal conditions allow. The journey continues along the rugged backside of the volcano, offering panoramic vistas and opportunities to spot wildlife before returning with memories of East Maui’s most secluded treasures.
